Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:7
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Generosity has been a hallmark of those who walked the path of faith before us. Our ancestors gave freely—not out of obligation, but as a joyful response to God’s abundant blessings. Their giving extended beyond material possessions to include time, wisdom, and love, building communities rooted in care and compassion.
Walking in the light of our ancestors encourages us to embrace a spirit of generosity that flows from a thankful heart. Generosity reflects trust in God’s provision and a desire to bless others, continuing the cycle of giving that sustains faith communities and families.
This kind of giving transforms both giver and receiver and strengthens the bonds of unity and grace. It honors the legacy of those who sacrificed and shared without hesitation, trusting that God will provide for every need.
Challenge: Consider a way you can give generously today—whether it’s your resources, your time, or your encouragement—to bless someone in need.
Prayer:
Lord, cultivate in me a generous heart that reflects the spirit of my ancestors. Teach me to give cheerfully and sacrificially, trusting in Your provision and grace. May my generosity be a light to others and a testimony of Your love. Amen.
